Săptămâna 38 de sarcină

Your nutrition strategy for week 38 should focus on maintaining your energy levels without straining your digestive system. Since labor can start at any moment, your body needs endurance. However, because your stomach capacity is now quite limited, you should choose energy-dense snacks (hazelnuts, almonds, dried fruits) eaten in small, frequent portions instead of large meals. Consuming fiber-rich foods (oats, leafy greens) helps relieve pressure in the pelvic area by preventing constipation, which is a common risk during this week. Fluid intake is more critical than ever this week. Drinking at least 3 liters of water a day helps replenish amniotic fluid and makes it easier for your body to reduce swelling. You must consult your doctor before consuming herbal teas like raspberry leaf tea, which are believed to prepare the uterine muscles for birth. Keeping salt intake to a minimum helps balance your blood pressure by controlling swelling in your hands and feet. Consuming healthy fats (olive oil, avocado) helps maintain your skin's elasticity and prevent last-minute stretch marks.
